Generate shipping labels - video tutorial - Jan-26 update
Just released a new video tutorial on generating PDFs of shipping labels with DocuPotion:
A bit different to some of the other video guides I’ve posted as the shipping label is designed using the DocuPotion template editor (rather than designing it in a separate page of your Bubble app):
Any questions let me know.

New Repeating Element component - January-26 update
An update for DocuPotion users designing their PDFs using the template editor: we recently released a new Repeating Element component.
It’s quite similar to the repeating group you’ll be familiar with from Bubble. The repeating element let’s you display a list of items in a grid layout.
You define how one entry in the repeating element looks, and a similar card is created for each item in the list
Full details available in this section of the docs. Any questions let me know.

EU Regional endpoint - March-26 update
DocuPotion now offers an EU Regional endpoint for document generation. This may be useful for the following use cases:
To use the EU regional endpoint:
If anyone has any questions on this or you require further detail, just let me know.
Please note the EU regional endpoint is currently only available for generating PDFs from a Bubble page. I hope to add this functionality for users who are generating PDFs from a DocuPotion template in the near future.

Bring your S3 storage and new API endpoints - March-26 update
I recently released a few exciting updates for DocuPotion!
Store PDFs in your own S3 bucket
You can now store generated PDF documents in your own Amazon S3 bucket. This can be useful if:

The DocuPotion Bubble plugin has been updated to allow users to:
Full instructions on how to implement this feature can be found here.
GET Account API Endpoint
The new GET Account API endpoint lets you check your usage and document limits at any time. Here’s a sample response:
{
"success": true,
"username": "you@example.com",
"documents_used": 108,
"documents_limit": 1000
}
GET Templates API Endpoint
The new GET Templates endpoint allows you to programmatically access all templates you created in the DocuPotion template editor. Here’s a sample response:
{
"templates": [

"templateId": "h2h5rsb62rb3opc",
"templateName": "Invoice"
},
{
"templateId": "nr3k8ho4pdy6lfq",
"templateName": "Meeting Notes Template"
}
]
}
See the API docs for full details on both of these endpoints.

Alex, any easy way to shrink to page for a page (within a bunch of other pages)? Or to have Create PDF generate different size pages that can then be printed to shrink to fit?
Hey @code-escapee - afraid DocuPotion doesn’t support this right now. Each page has to be the same format.
One workaround would be to generate multiple PDFs where each PDF is a different format. EG:
You could then merge them together using some external service.
Appreciate that’s not simple but the best I can offer right now. Will note this down as a potential future feature to investigate building.
Any other questions just let me know.
Generate document templates with AI - April-26 update
You can now simply describe what template you want and DocuPotion will generate it for you.
Put in a prompt like:
A simple invoice for my business with line items and payment terms
And you get back a polished template complete with {{merge_fields}}.
Once you’ve created your template via the DocuPotion dashboard, you can Generate PDFs of it from your Bubble app using our plugin (using the ‘Create PDF from Template’ action).
Other cool bits
{{merge_fields}} that match your data schemaTry it out
You can try out the AI-powered editor in the templates section of your DocuPotion dashboard.
Any questions just let me know!

How to create a reusable template from an existing PDF - June-26 update
Just wanted to highlight a new feature I added to the DocuPotion AI template generator recently. Let’s say you have an existing, static PDF file, like this property brochure PDF:
You can turn this into a reusable template that you can use for PDF generation in your Bubble app.
Navigate to the templates section of your DocuPotion dashboard and create a new template by using the Describe with AI option:
Attach your existing, static PDF and ask DocuPotion to create a template based on it:
You can either add in your own sample data for the {{merge_fields}}, or let DocuPotion do it for you. In this example, we’ll let DocuPotion add the appropriate sample data.
Click the Create Template and wait for DocuPotion to render your reusable template:
DocuPotion has added {{merge_fields}} for the agent name and contact details. These are going to be the same every time, so we can ask DocuPotion to use static values for these fields via the chat pane.
Click on the Publish button to make sure these changes are go live. You can now create PDFs of your reusable template in your Bubble app using the Create PDF from Template action that comes with the DocuPotion plugin.
See this section of the DocuPotion docs for full details on generating PDFs from templates in Bubble with DocuPotion.
Bonus tip
The With data tab in the DocuPotion editor gives a pretty good preview of how your template will look with actual data, but you can also download an actual PDF file by clicking on the Download Sample button.

New video tutorial - creating detailed PDFs in Bubble with DocuPotion - June-26 update
Recently released a new video that covers all the basics of using DocuPotion.
If you’re an existing user, there won’t be too much new here, but if you’re thinking of trying it out then I would recommend starting with this video (it has the new properties editor which makes it bit easier to follow).
Topics covered include:
Random side note: I recently started putting my face on video thumbnails as I heard this increases the % of people that click through to watch . This has not happened. Bad result for my ego.

Is it possible to create a PDF file from multiple files as an input?
As in PDF.co where you can merge Merge PDF Files - REST Web API, Fast PDF Merger | PDF.co
Hi @ramaarana7, afraid it’s not currently possible to merge multiple PDFs into one.
I have seen users use DocuPotion to generate a PDF from Bubble and then merge it with another PDF using a service like PDF.co.
